LYRICS:

I’m Tarica June, I don’t be following no freakin templates–you know that already if you listened to my mixtape if you didn’t, get your sh*t straight, get to downloading, I ain’t holding up, this ain’t waiting/ for them to come and recognize it/ it’s better than what came before any way that you size it/ up…that’s the direction that I’m goin in, they lookin at me like they don’t know the language I’m flowin in/ either way, they’ll be throwin in the towel after while/ sittin back and talkin about how I got my own style/ tryna copy me while I’m on to the next, no time for an imitator/hater no stress/ yes…you have officially been blessed/ your new favorite rapper stay in heels or a dress, with some locs, still she don’t fit up in anybody’s box/ no tellin where the spaceship stops, throw rocks, yeah… I wanna rock right now Tarica June and I can only get down/ I’m soon to be internationally known/ so if you aint support, don’t ring my phone when I get on

*HOOK*

Verse 3:

I grew up on Queen Latifah, Slick Rick, Moni Love, KRS, De La tell me what y’all thinkin of what do y’all be rappin bout? what do y’all be rappin for? this sh*t just aint workin out we could all be doing more/ so I’m comin back for this hip-hop music cuz it ain’t nothin like hip-hop music food for the people ‘fore the corporations used it hard to deny it, don’t try it, be quiet I’m comin for the fakers, I’m a one-woman riot/ and the difference is with me I give it everything inside it’s not a game–I know from whence it came/ it’s a shame how we gave it all up for the bling and the fame but/ me and hip-hop go back like car seats/ so we ain’t allowin none of that wack on our streets/ we rememberin the days of the wax and concrete/ and if y’all aint respectin that sh*t don’t speak me and hip-hop go back like cornrows so we comin and we callin you out at your shows till they runnin in and haulin you out, and doors close/ and they all be like just don’t speak–Morse code

*HOOK*

Today is my birthday. It has really been an interesting year. I invite you to come celebrate with me at Sutra Lounge with DJ Saucee and @uniquely1derful (Athena Joy)–whose birthday is August 5th.

As you know, I love Light Graffiti.  Was happy to find this short documentary about Dennis Smith, who is a professional light painter.  This shows how creativity has the potential to save you from madness. Truly.
